Their graduates are smart and competent but less than creative, in my experience- classic farmers and engineers. I don't know where they land in the USNWR rankings, but I think MSU is probably a top 100 research university by any reasonable standard.
I like how the three big public universities in Mississippi have pretty obviously distinct cultures and identities. It's not like Louisiana, where ULL really kind of just feels like LSU Junior, McNeese feels like ULL Junior, etc.
ETA: Let me give an example. It's a little crazy how quiet MSU's campus is compared to USM or Ole Miss.

When you get outside the top 40 or so the individual major matters much more than the overall number.
While this is a grad school example it shows how important course of study is when ranking schools.
The University of South Carolina is ranked #124 but the MBA program is ranked #55 but the International Business specialty is ranked #1 in the nation.
